What BBN said about it

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorNew tonight, per the BBC, Stephen King's Carrie is back with a social media twist.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe BBC says the cast and creator are arguing why a beloved classic needed remaking. Opinion: nobody asked, but a studio always has a hunch.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorSocial media horror! I once got ratio'd by a corn dog stand in Iowa. Still my favorite state.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorI have survived coups, Chip. I have not survived a comment section. A goat in Mongolia wrote one about me.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorRemember, the original prom ended with a bucket. Gloria, you own three. Just saying.
